A 29-YEAR-OLD man has died after being shot seven times in Brooklyn, officials said Wednesday.

A gunman in a hoodie opened fire on Cordell Pittman and six others — including a small child — as they hung out behind a building on Moore St. near Humboldt St., in the Bushwick Houses, at about 11:20 p.m. Wednesday, cops said.

Video surveillan­ce recovered by police shows the gunman approach the crowd, which scattered after he opened fire.

Pittman, whom police sources described as a known Bloods member with a long criminal history, was drawn away from the crowd before bullets started flying, officials said. He was hit seven times in his chest and legs and died at Kings County Hospital.
